The first electrified vehicle for Stellantis' Dodge brand will be a plug-in hybrid crossover called the Hornet, a resurrected name of a 1970s station wagon.
. It marks a return to the lower-priced mainstream market following the discontinuation of the Dart sedan and Journey crossover in 2016 and 2020, respectively.
Dodge says the Hornet will have the top performance in the segment and offer unique aspects, including a "Power Shot" mode for the plug-in hybrid that instantaneously provides 25 more horsepower to the vehicle. The Hornet GT is expected to arrive in U.S. showrooms late this year, followed by the plug-in model next spring. The vehicles will be produced at a plant in Italy alongside the Alfa Romeo Tonale, which has a shared a platform and components but different design characteristics.
